#3- My Favorite Cover

FamilyFun, August 2014, Road Trip

"For our August 2014 issue, FamilyFun commissioned photographer Sabrina Helas to shoot our cover story on family road trips. The minute we saw this image in the film, we knew we had our cover. Shot at The Corner Store in San Pedro, CA, the photo is filled with the kind of joyful, authentic details we love — the vintage blue bottle, the candy bracelet, the world's best burger, and a side-glancing smile of delight from 6-year-old Isaac. Intriguing and spontaneous-feeling, it sums up what our brand is all about: making happy memories with your kids.

Critique: Personally I think it is a really good picture.  The lighting makes the image pop out more the colors appear so much more brighter.  The child shows a lot of emotion which rubs off as happy or excited.  The background is extremely appealing as well, it doesn't take away from the main subject but it adds nice balance to what is in the front of the image. The portrait is actually really appealing of the child, nothing is off setting and the child is extremely happy.  This is an environmental photo because not only do you have the boy in the photo you have a visual background.

1.I thought that what Nick Brandt is really an amazing thing. His pictures are beautiful and each tells a great story and they really do make me want to help the animals in the photographs.
2.

3. I really like it because it just shows the affection that the lions have for one another.  A lot of people would say other animals down have feelings, but I truly believe they do, so this photo expresses it.

4. Its simplicity I think because it just has one subject in the photo, it shows the love between the two animals.

5. He uses a Pentax 67II with only two fixed lenses.

6.Brandt take his photos to show the world these amazing animals before they go extinction and to show that animals are deserve to live just as much as humans do.

"My images are unashamedly idyllic and romantic, a kind of enchanted Africa. They're my elegy to a world that is steadily, tragically vanishing."- Nick Brandt
